Chapter Sixteen: Fighting Against the Demonic Sky

  A furious blow, almost frantic.

  Su Che's punch was not just a simple burst of true energy, but had some super-level performance, this one punch shattered the shadowy figure, as if shattering a mirror.

  "Ah!"

  A woman's mournful cry, a fragmented figure dispersing into a stream of air. But in the blink of an eye, Xing Er's form reassembled, this time with seven orifices bleeding, gazing at Su Che with unbearable sorrow: "Brother, how can you be so heartless..."

  Looks very much like it! Unfortunately, this trick is no longer useful.

  When things reach an extreme, they will inevitably reverse. Something that has reached its peak will undergo a contrary transformation. Su Che's punch just now not only shattered the Tianmo image but also the weakness deep within his heart. From now on, if anyone uses these tricks against him again, it will be completely ineffective.

  Outside the examination hall, the goat-bearded examiner let out a low murmur: "Good kid, I really did underestimate him."

  "This kid is not bad." The examiner with a gentle and kind face nodded: "He was able to eliminate one of his heart demons so quickly, which proves that he has a strong will and his acquired talent is still quite good."

  "What's this? You've got the idea of taking on apprentices?" The goat-bearded official sipped his tea with a leisurely air.

  The kind examiner shook his head: "He came with Yu Qing from Xuanji Peak, I reckon he's already a member of Xuanji Peak."

  "Hmm, in the past hundred years, Xuanji Peak's reputation has been rising, and several exceptionally talented disciples have emerged from within. The goat-bearded man glanced at Yuqing standing at the entrance of the grand hall and said in a low voice: "Especially this Yuqing, the probability of becoming a true disciple is indeed not low."

  The kind examiner nodded slightly...

  In the arena, Su Che had completely let go of his hands and feet. His heart was no longer entangled or worried, and he punched and kicked at the Tianmo shadow image. Although they were all ordinary martial arts techniques, the true energy released was not fake. Every punch and kick contained extremely spectacular explosive energy, shattering a giant stone as tall as a person was effortless, enough to cause significant harm to Tianmo.

  At first, he didn't realize it, but after several consecutive blows shattered the Tianmo image, turning it into a gaseous state. Su Chu's sharp senses discovered that its volume had shrunk somewhat. This showed that his attacks were having some effect, and if he continued like this, he would eventually be able to thoroughly annihilate it.

  The extraterritorial Tianmo may not have a physical body, but it is like a stream of air. It also has thoughts and exists with wisdom, and its level of wisdom is not low. Of course, it knows that it has encountered a tough guy among humans, with an iron will, extremely difficult to shake.

  It can't go on like this, so it also became fierce, after a sharp and piercing howl, it rushed towards Su Che's fists and feet, even if it would be shattered again, losing half of its volume in an instant, it still wanted to rush into the human body, drill into his brain, and directly devour his soul with the method of possession.

  As long as possession is successful and he is absorbed, all previous losses can be made up for, and even strength can be greatly increased...

  "Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

  Tianmo let out a strange laugh, his entire body was kicked in half by Su Che, but it split into two parts. The lower half continued to entangle Su Che, while the upper half suddenly jumped high and then fell down, like a semi-transparent bag, completely covering Su Che's head.

  In an instant, it plunged into Su Che's skull.

  "Haha, little guy, you're done for, your body belongs to me now!"

  Tianmo was laughing wildly in Su Che's mind, making a harsh noise that attacked directly at Su Che's soul.

  "It's been ages since I've savored a human soul, so fresh and delicious...". Despite the other half of its body being completely dispersed by Su Che, it still let out a triumphant and ear-piercing howl, as if it had already grasped victory and had complete control over Su Che's life and death.

  Possessed by the heavenly demon, Su Che was extremely tense, and his nerves were stretched taut. For a moment, he didn't know how to engage in the most perilous battle of wits with it in his own mind.

  Hahaha...

  The detestable Tianmo burst into a crazy laughter, seemingly having the upper hand, yet suddenly...

  "What's this? Wow!"

  After a mournful cry, Su Che's mind suddenly calmed down, and after careful feeling, he could no longer find the existence of Tian Mo.

  What's going on?

  After a moment's thought, Su Che also understood that it was probably the small tower in his mind that had taken Tianmo away.

  "This wretched guy has finally run into a dead end!" Su Che thought to himself with a sneer, "If it didn't possess someone, Xiao Ta would have had a hard time capturing it!"

  Su Che's thinking was quick and agile, although he had already settled the Tianmo, but still pretended to be in a dangerous situation, his facial expression intentionally showing anger at times, sadness at times, annoyance at times, and terror...

  Outside the examination hall, the two examiners are paying close attention to all of this, not because they have nothing better to do and enjoy watching others' struggles as entertainment, but because it is their duty to monitor and prevent cheating.

  Strictly speaking, the small tower in Su Che's mind swallowed the Tianmo, which was also a cheating behavior. It is not known whether the examiners outside the arena can discover this situation.

  At this moment, the benevolent examiner sighed softly: "Still inexperienced, how could you let the extraterritorial Tianmo get close? You should know that after possession, Tianmo's combat power has increased by at least two levels."

  This means that the strength is equivalent to the Tianmo in the initial stage of Qi cultivation. Once possession is successful, it may devour the soul of a cultivator in the later stage of Qi cultivation. The reason is simple: a bomb may not kill people when it explodes outside the body, but once it is swallowed and explodes inside someone's body, it will be lively...

  The goat Bao Gong's silent delight implies a hint of schadenfreude. If the little guy inside fails, it would only prove that his discerning eye is even more accurate.

  These two people did not see that Su Che had already passed the crisis, and it was easy to pass, which also shows that Su Che's performance was very successful, and the rich expression was in place.

  It took about a quarter of an hour, and Su Che felt almost done. As the saying goes, the struggle after the demon's possession is the most dangerous, everything changes in a flash, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to come out with a result, which is relatively reasonable.

  Sigh...

  Su Che's face was pale, he let out a long sigh, his whole body was drenched in sweat, and his mental state was somewhat sluggish. But this expression precisely proved that he had won, ultimately defeating the extraterrestrial demon that possessed him!

  "Heh heh." The benevolent examiner offstage smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and glanced faintly at the goat beard.

  These two have been examiners here for many years, and in their daily lives, apart from chatting, they would occasionally make a small bet on a certain test, purely for entertainment purposes, with no stakes. The winner would just feel a little proud of themselves, and then it would be forgotten, not worth mentioning again.

  After a dozen or so breaths, Su Che found a way out and walked out of that dark doorway again.

  After slightly adjusting his clothes, Su Che made a bow and asked: "May I ask the two seniors, did the disciple pass the assessment?"

  "It's over!"

  The kind examiner picked up the two jade tokens on the table, clapped them together, and with a special technique replaced Su Che's identity token. He then beckoned to him: "From today on, you are an outer disciple of our Tianxuan Sect. Since you came with Yu Qing, I won't say more about what's next; he will tell you himself."

  "Thank you, senior."

  Su Che hastily took a few steps forward, both hands taking over the brand new yellow jade token, controlling his emotional excitement, and not forgetting to thank the other examiner with the goat beard.

  "Go."

  The benevolent examiner waved his hand lightly, and the goat-bearded examiner just nodded slightly.

  Su Che held his own identity jade symbol, turned around and moved forward, coming to the front of Yu Qing, formally greeting him as a junior brother: "Yu Qing senior brother, I've kept you waiting."

  "It doesn't matter, it wasn't long." Yu Qing asked with a hint of a smile: "What kind of demon did you encounter?"

  "Diāo wài tiān mó." Sū chè dī shēng huí dào.

  Translation:

  "Demon from outside the domain." Su Che replied in a low voice.

  "Oh? It's actually the strongest Outer World Demon King..."

  Yu Qing was quite surprised, and carefully sized up Su Che from head to toe, furrowing his brow as he asked: "I can hardly believe it, you were actually able to swiftly behead the Tianmo... Could it be that you're no longer Su Che, but rather a demonic puppet possessed by the Tianmo?"

  Haha!

  As soon as the words fell, the two of them smiled at each other. Yu Qing's words were just a joke, but they also gave him a deeper understanding of his younger brother's hidden strength.
